Super MoneyMaker PumpInventor: Robert Hyde, Martin Fisher, Mark Butcher,and Adblikadir MusaProducer: KickStart International Kenya, Tanzania, and China,1998 Mild steel, PVC, rubberPlaces: Kenya, Tanzania , Mali, Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda,Burundi, South Africa, Mozambique, and Philippines etc.The Super MoneyMaker Pump is a manual treadle pump thatwill direct water to where it is needed, pulling water from adepth of seven meters and lifting it up fourteen meters abovethe water source. No fuel or electricity is required to operatethe pump. The pump can irrigate a two-acre area over aneight-hour period. Over 50,000 Super MoneyMaker Pumpshave been shipped to customers all over the world, and, basedon KickStart‘s impact-monitoring studies, there are anestimated 35,000 households starting profitable small farmbusinesses using pumps to irrigate their fruits and vegetables Money Maker Pumpduring the dry season. By greatly increasing the yield, growinghigher-value crops, and growing year round, these familieshave increased their net farm income from $110 to $1,100 peryear—lifting themselves out of poverty.

Drip Irrigation SystemDesigner:International Development Enterprises (IDE) IndiaManufacturer: Multiple workshopsIndia, 2006Plastic tubing and tankDimensions: 2’ h x 2’ w x 8” d (with water); bag can hang from any type of post or support and tailored to any size or shape availableIn use in: India, Nepal, Zambia, ZimbabweIDE’s low-cost Drip Irrigation System was developed so farmers could start small and scale up as theirfinancial capacity and acreage grew. The kits are significantly less expensive than conventional drip systemsused on commercial farms. Studies show that drip irrigation reduces water use by 30-70% andincreases yields by over 50%. There is improved crop quality, crop-per-drop efficiency for agriculturalintensification, and cultivation of high-value marketable crops. The kits, operating under very little waterpressure, are typically used in the production of fruit and vegetable crops, but have also been used for maize,wheat, and cotton. More than 600,000 systems have been sold.

LifeStrawInventor: Torben Vestergaard FrandsenProducer: Vestergaard Frandsen S.A.patented activated carbon (interior)Places: Ghana, Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda About half of the world’s poor suffer from waterborne diseases, and more than 6,000 people, mainly children, die each day by consuming unsafe drinking water. LifeStraw, a personal mobile water-purification tool is designed to turn any surface water into drinking water. It has proven to be effective against waterborne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery, and diarrhea, and removes particles as small as fifteen microns.

Q DrumInventor: P. J. and J. P. S. HendrikseProducer: Kaymac Rotomoulders andPioneer Plastics South Africa, 1993Places: Kenya, Namibia, Ethiopia, Rwanda,Tanzania, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana, etc.Millions around the world, especially in rural Africa,live kilometers from a reliable source of clean water,leaving them vulnerable to cholera, dysentery, andother water-borne diseases. Water in adequatequantities is too heavy to carry. The Q Drum is adurable container designed to roll easily, and cantransport seventy-five liters of clean and potablewater. Rolling the water in a cylindrical container,rather than lifting and carrying it, eases the burden ofbringing water to those who need it.

Solar AidDesigner/Manufacturer: Godisa TechnologiesBotswana, 2003UV-resistant ABS plastic, 680-ohm resistor,10-kilo-ohm resistor, 100-ohm resistor, transistor,diode, LED, batteries, solar panel, rubber, screwsDimensions: 4.5”h x 1”w x 3”d (charger)In use in: Angola, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Cambodia,Cameroon, Canada, Columbia, Costa Rica, DemocraticRepublic of Congo, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia,France, Germany, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Israel,Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mexico, Palestine, Paraguay,Philippines, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania,Trinidad and Tobago, United Kingdom, United States,Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, ZimbabweApproximately 10% of the world population has a disabling hearing impairment, and 80% ofthem live in developing countries. The most expensive part of a hearing aid is the battery,which needs to be continually replaced. The Solar Aid solar-powered hearing-aid batteryrecharger, developed in Botswana, helps those with hearing disabilities afford to continuein school and participate in economy activity. More than 7,000 units are in use in SouthAmerica, Central America, Africa, and Asia. And because batteries are generallyexpensive everywhere, Godisa intends to make this affordable technology widelyavailable not just in the developing countries but also in the United States and Europe.

Pot-in-Pot coolerInventor: Mohammed Bah AbbaProducer: local pottersNigeria, 1995 Earthenware, sand, waterPlaces: Cameroon, Tchad, Niger,Eritrea, Ethiopia, Burkina FasoThe Pot-in-Pot system consists of two pots, a smallerearthenware pot nestled within another pot, with thespace in between filled with sand and water. Whenthat water evaporates, it pulls heat from the interiorof the smaller pot, in which vegetables and fruits canbe kept. In rural Nigeria, many farmers lacktransportation, water, and electricity, but one of theirbiggest problems is the inability to preserve theircrops. With the Pot-in-Pot, tomatoes last for twenty-one days, rather than two or three days without thistechnology. Fresher produce can be sold at themarket, generating more income for the farmers.
